The fourth annual NHLPA Rookie Showcase kicked off Tuesday in Toronto, Ontario where 30 of the NHL's top prospects were busy signing autographs, having their pictures taken for future trading cards, and even having their heads scanned for the new EA Sports NHL 13 video game, which is being released on Sept. 11.

Hamilton, the No. 9 overall pick of the 2011 NHL draft, is expected to compete for a roster spot this season. He was signed to a three-year entry level contract in December and played for the Niagara IceDogs of the Ontario Hockey League last season.

Spooner (45th overall in 2010) skated in five games with Boston's AHL affiliate Providence in 2011-12, but primarily played in the OHL for the Kingston Frontenacs and Sarnia Sting, where he was traded to in January.
